It's worse! It's tinted on one side in the rear but not the other!

Imagine if he only lowered three corners of the car and left the 4th stock!

Knowing him, lower 1 corner and keep others stock is more likely.

Wanna know a secret? I am afraid to burn rubber with my 6MT. I am petrified that I will be THAT GUY who messes up and burns up the clutch instead, live on YouTube. I'll do it when my summer tires wear out, which will be sometime next summer the way I drive.

I am such a wuss.

It's an RS6, it is supposed to be held to high standards.

That's the Polestar. I definitely respect that wagon and it looks good, too.

The V60 is coming soon. Curious to see what it costs. I have heard $34k to start for the V60 T5.

It's a nice car but it's got that same type of terrible recessed Navigation screen that the Mazda6 has ... That's a deal killer. That screen is tiny.

I very much did. I will always prefer a car with fewer mods done well, than a car with more mods done so-so.

As much as I love the RS4, I've been giving the RS6 more attention. Just shy of $200k with my options

Well, that's cuz clearly I'm willing to "downgrade" to a mere RS4...


I'm not as high-maintenance as you.

That HUGE "B" is pretty tasteless. I'd immediately debadge, or rebadge with the tri-star.

I've always loved that in Europe you can order your Audi, don't know about other manufacturers, without any badges. Wish they offered that here in the states.
